Very versatile pouch.
on October 9, 2022

I use this pouch many ways. Mostly as a hip pouch. I also attach it to my peak design backpack. It is a unique size. I like that it can expand. The reason it is not 5 star is the velcro closure. It works but it could be improved to say 2 small magnet latches. Still usable with one hand. I will say the velcro is very durable and has never released when not supposed to.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased to go with my everyday bag and tech pouch to keep things organized and tidy. Same quality you can come to expect from peak design and I love the modularity in size and utility of this pouch. It carries battery banks some days, HDMI cables for work and for vacations its my extra anything bag

Great Pouch, but is there an alternative to velcro
on October 3, 2022

I bought this pouch for a trip to sacred sites in Greece as a way to carry around just the essentials. I bought a belt for it so I could wear it as a fanny pack (could be a feature to add). It was great, but the velcro made reaching into it a noisy activity and sometimes things would stick to the parts of the velcro that weren't in use. Recommend the pouch, especially its capacity to get smaller or bigger depending on your needs.

Perfect for around town or airport carry

Excellent product. I wanted a sling to declutter my pockets around town, but didn't want one of the larger capacity bags because I wanted a slimmer profile. This fit the bill, and has done double duty as an around town bag plus as a travel sling. In the airport, it held my iPad mini, foldable water bottle, portable battery, and phone all without complaint. I wish it had a zippered closure on the top instead of the velcro, but I do also like that the velcro gives it some modularity. So all in all, excellent product.

I'm an honest person and 4/5 is a good rating

I like this little pouch, I really do. It's my fault for not being able to go see one in the flesh, but it is a tad smaller than what would be my perfect size. Having said that, it's still an awesome size of a pouch, and the fact that it expands is pretty awesome and accommodating. My only real gripe is the velcro: it's eating up my camera strap. Other than that, I think one improvement would be to be able to divide the main pouch in two. I would still totally recommend this pouch. It's my daily carry. Looks sleek and is easy to adjust to how you want to carry.

Looks great, holds X100 on PD Leash, with two batteries, PD Sling and then some.
Use it as a sling bag or inside my work bag.

Super functional man purse / fanny pack
on September 8, 2022

I realized recently that i’m tired of stuffing my pockets. Wallet, phone, keys were somewhat manageable, but once our phones got bigger and we started adding airpods and masks to the mix it started to become unwieldy and unsightly. I saw a bunch of gen-z’ers resuscitating fanny packs from the 90s and realized they might be onto something. My millennial envy compelled me to investigate further.
I was a bit nervous about buying the field pouch since it’s one of the lower reviewed Peak Design products. I can only speak for my use case, but I love this thing. I bought it about two months ago and used it for both everyday carry as well as during recent domestic and international travel. Very occasionally I stuffed a camera (Sony a7Rii) in there with either a 35mm or in one case my 24mm gmaster.
One thing worth mentioning is that I don’t use the default strap that came with it; instead, I opted for the Slide strap since it’s so easy to adjust on the fly. I sling the strap across my shoulder and usually allow the field pouch itself to rest on my side or behind me. In crowded spaces or when wearing the travel backpack I’d swing it to the front so I could keep a closer relate on it.
At all times I kept my keys, phone, wallet, chapstick, and a pen in my field pouch. When I was out for longer I’d bring my iphone charger too. During travel it was handy to keep my passport and hold onto receipts in the zipped compartment. On sunny days I often carried my sunglasses in their soft case in the pouch as well. Mask and tissues/wipes were commonly in there too.
All of the above were my “baseline” everyday carry during my travels and the field pouch was perfect for holding all of these items — the pouch still had a slim profile and never felt bulky. I was not only achieving my goal of having nothing in my pockets, but also carrying “just-in-case” items without having to bring something bulky or heavy like a sling bag or backpack. Another key advantage is that in the airport nobody counts the pouch as a personal item since it’s so small and attached to your body so in transit I was able to carry-on my Travel Backpack, my (old school) 10L Everyday Sling and the Field Pouch. I could also consolidate and stuff it into either bag when I needed to.
For everyday carry the field pouch is a delight. I didn’t mind the velcro at all - I felt that traveling Europe it added some peace of mind since if anybody tried to pickpocket me I would probably hear it. Less convenient during a quiet meeting or when in a movie theater, of course. But as long as i wasn’t overpacking I felt velcro did a secure enough job of protecting things. Would I prefer magnets? Sure. But at this price point I really am not bothered by velcro as much as others seem to be.
The only time when I really pushed the limits of the Field Pouch was when I tried to bring my camera with me. In those cases I’d usually take out most of the items so that my camera and my Cuff would be the only in the pouch. In these cases since my full body mirrorless camera was relatively large, the pouch would be in it’s unfolded form and the velcro just barely closed. In these cases I felt more nervous so again would swing the pouch in front of me keep a closer eye. Overall though I decided fairly early on that this would not be a primary way of carrying around my camera; I’d only resort to this in a pinch. Smaller cameras would probably work better.
Overall a clutch purchase that I’m happy about. The key is generally not to overstuff it and you’ll be fine. Finally it looks really sleek in midnight and I’ve received lots of compliments. Gen-z‘ers watch out! This functional field pouch is almost making look and feel as hip as you.
I would recommend this to a friend!
